Hi Everyone,
I can't get xorg to honor the DPMS options BlankTime, StandyTime or
SuspendTime. I've attached my xorg.conf file.
the man pages say that these options should work when included in
xorg.conf. I was dumbfounded to find out that the default RHEL5 install
doesn't enable screen blanking! the screensaver works fine when logged
in, but no screen blanking happend at the login screen.
xset shows the following even when BlankTime and suspendTime are set in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf and a user is logged in.
%xset -q
Keyboard Control:
auto repeat: off key click percent: 0 LED mask: 00000000
auto repeat delay: 500 repeat rate: 30
auto repeating keys: 00ffffffdffffbbf
fadfffdfffdfe5ef
ffffffffffffffff
ffffffffffffffff
bell percent: 50 bell pitch: 400 bell duration: 100
Pointer Control:
acceleration: 2/1 threshold: 4
Screen Saver:
prefer blanking: yes allow exposures: yes
timeout: 0 cycle: 0
Colors:
default colormap: 0x20 BlackPixel: 0 WhitePixel: 16777215
Font Path:
unix/:7100
Bug Mode: compatibility mode is disabled
DPMS (Energy Star):
Standby: 0 Suspend: 0 Off: 0
DPMS is Enabled
Monitor is On
Font cache:
Server does not have the FontCache Extension
File paths:
Config file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Modules path: /usr/lib/xorg/modules
Log file: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Any help is appreciated.
Sincerely,
Jason Edgecombe
